Tomato poori

Tomato poori is flavoured with tomatoes and mint leaves.Yesterday when I was thinking that I should prepare something new type of poori. Though the recipe sounds rather simple, regular kneading is not enough.So wish, you’ll give little bit more extra pressure while kneading.

Prep time:20 mins|Cook time:15 mins

Cuisine :South Indian(Breakfast)

Ingredients

Quantity

Wheat flour

1.5 cups

Sooji(Rava)

1/2 tsp

Ripe tomatoes

Green chilli

2 nos

Cumin seeds

¼ tsp

Salt

L.g

Mint leaves

1/2 cup

Method

To make tomato puree(whom ever wishes to do in this way)

1. Make a thick puree out these tomatoes .Put tomatoes in boiling water.Remove from the water after sometime and peel the skins.Put the tomatoes in a mixie and make a puree.2. Actually I chopped the tomatoes and ground along with green chillies and cumin seeds.In a broad vessel,add wheat flour, sooji,finely chopped mint leaves,caraway seeds,asafoetida, salt, oil and mix well.Run this ground tomato mixture over wheat flour.3. Knead everything to a form a stiff dough. Make equal parts out of this. Knead them into small pooris with uniform thickness. 4. Now make small balls from the dough and dust with flour and roll to make medium thick pooris. 5. Fry from both the sides till golden in colour,remove from the pan and drain on a paper napkin. Serve hot with Methi dal(I will upload later on).
